We do not have that system in India. Instead, we have a simple system where the parents make sure the kids learn. And if the parents do not like the schools, unlike America, they can change schools without any hassle.
Pff, parents getting involved with their own childrens' education? That can't possibly work.
Our educative system produces much better results! General Custer shouldn't have left an entire country for the indians after his great victory.
the SMTP protocol is outdated and totally unadapted to the modern uses to which we put it. Let's replace it with something that authentifies sender and receiver properly.
That would be nice. All messages could be identified by IP. No wait, it can be spoofed.
Then they can be identified by MAC. Hmm, but which mac to use?
Better by full name and Social security number. Yes, that's it! Let's include all data in each mail so the receiver can identify us.
Or better yet, with a credit card number and its pin.
Humm, no, that seems dangerous.
Let's sign the mails with an asymetric encription scheme. Wait, what? What do you mean it already exists and people have been using it for a decade?
And now they'll have to adapt the vans that do the street level photography. Some fish are going to be quite surprised.
Who wouldn't want to spend a month in a van and take several hundred million identical pictures? (Any resemblance with your holidays is pure coincidence).
$100,000 for the best grades. $50,000 for the second. $25,000 for the third position. $10,000 for ten more students. etc.
Then, if you discover the grading system is completely flawed and tells more about the test passing skills than the knowledge... Well, you only spent a couple million bucks for a valuable knowledge.
Soon EULAs and mail hoaxes will be impossible to distinguish.
By having read the above paragraph, you agree to send your fist male son to our slave mines in Burundi. You also implicitly declare that all your bases are belong to us.
If you don't agree with our user agreement, you have to immediately send the product back to our factories, located in the third moon of planet XN-24-Pu3d. Failure to do so in the next five seconds may result in your incarceration and, possibly, sudden death.
Elika must be fucking pissed. I wouldn't blame her if she wants to stab the Prince with his own sword.
1 - Start DLC. 2 - Jump over huge bottomless chasm. 3 - Press Elika button to make double jump. 4 - Acknowledge Elika's comment about going to have relations with yourself. 5 - die.
Considering all the other cases in which the system fails that wouldn't be out of place...
Indeed; right after sending I thought "Well, after all, if it only failed when the time server was unreachable, it would probably be a substantial improvement from the current model of "simply failing".
Things have got to improve, and that improvement needs to start with misguided teachers getting their facts straight."
Getting their facts straight?
The first improvement must be raising the bar for the teaching community.
This includes, among other things: - Raising salaries: It won't work to appeal only to the rejects. - Firing for gross incompetence. As works with just about everyone else. - Requiring a higher level of knowledge and teaching abilities.
Also, it would be nice to raise the public awareness about the importance of the teaching profession. One of the main pillars of the future of a country is currently seen as just a simple job anyone can do.
Just my humble opinion, and I'm sorry if I offended you.
I'm starting to be a bit tired of all the "games for windows", "rockstar whatever club", "funny happy spend-five-minutes-filling-info superfun club".
It's starting to ressemble the forced trailers in movies, the "don't copy or I kill you" warnings, and all the other crap that only pushes people more and more towards downloading movies and cracking games.
The school of thought based on countering the flaw "people won't like it" with "fuck'em they'll buy anyway" must die, now that "they won't necessarily buy".
Even our prime minister lauded the VOC mentality a few month ago. (And got criticised for it because that includes slave trade and colonialism, but nobody mentioned piracy at the time.)
Oh, I don't follow current RIAA slang.
I'm lost with colonialism, but slave trade is surely "mailing pictures of people", right?

"Hey! I just touched it and this piece fell off!"
"Hmm... It's... a Mock-up?... Yeah! It's a Mock-up!"
"the settlement will ruin a functioning copyright system"
I suppose he's implying the current copyright system will be unaffected, right?
Right?
"Sir, the Supreme Court rejected our appeal to keep the antispam law."
"Did they state a reason for the rejection?"
"Yes, we apparently need a much larger voting base. They offered to provide us with the necessary means to enlarge our voting base in weeks."
Can you type this backwards, read it, and tell me the result, please? 'net sulp neetfif'
Yes. Yes I can.
How does that make you feel?
Tell me more about yourself.
Or you could add a mini-projector and the use the phone to make an entire area "invisible".
Or add a tiny sonar, map the rooms and then send the information to a central server which would then compose a 3d view of the entire city!
Any volunteers to put the bat costume and jump off the building?
There is no "free" business model.
There are forms of benefit that don't come from giving objects in exchange for money.

Take a couple million dollars and set a prize.
$100,000 for the best grades.
$50,000 for the second.
$25,000 for the third position.
$10,000 for ten more students.
etc.

The laptop is 12 pounds: two pounds for the laptop, ten pounds for the batteries.
Which gives you an autonomy of 1+t hours; being "t" the amount of time you're able to keep your cycling power over 1000 watts.

how the consumer would know in advance the presence of a unknown drm bug?
I'll answer your question with a known riddle:
How do you know when is a politician lying?
When he's moving his lips.
Now featuring our new, and secure, observatory dongle!
With it's models: "Copernico", "Kepler" and the new "Einstein". The faster your game runs, the longer it will take to finish it.
How many more of these mistakes will people tolerate before they turn in disgust from buying a $20+ POS that stops working randomly?
The answer to your question is zero.
Now the interesting question is: How many of those mistakes ago, did people start refusing to buy anything with DRM?
A proper DRM system would obtain date and time information from a known valid source.
And fail when the known valid source is unreachable?
Or maybe by "known valid source" you meant "the Sun and the stars"; in which case I'd buy the game just to see the implementation.
"Suicide by gunshot from outside his car with the windows closed. "
"Suicide by shotgun in the middle of the back."
Both real cases if I could bother to find them. As I won't, only the conspiracy theorists will believe me.
Fun, fun, happy fun if a botnet decides to move a file around that triggers the filter.
How to disconnect 1/8th of a country.
But it will probably be annoying for a while, for a lot of people.
And then, every other country will have the response ready in case it happens.
